Tort Victims Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Tort Victims′ Compensation Fund?
The purpose of the Fund is to help compensate people who have been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of another (such as in a motor vehicle collision or a hunting accident), and who have been unable to obtain full compensation because the party at fault (the "tortfeasor") had no insurance, or inadequate insurance, or has filed for bankruptcy, or for other reasons specified in the law.

How do I file a claim against the Victims′ Compensation Fund?
Eligible persons may file a claim against the Fund by submitting an APPLICATION FOR TORT VICTIMS′ COMPENSATION.

Do I need an attorney?
You may make and pursue a claim with or without the assistance of an attorney. The Tort Victims′ Compensation Program cannot offer you legal advice, but can explain procedural issues and required documentation.
return to top 256
When should I file a claim?
You should consider filing a claim as soon as possible, as there are time limitations on filing a claim.
return to top 257
Who is eligible to make a claim?
The following persons can make a claim against the Tort Victims′ Compensation Fund:
- A person who has obtained a final money judgment in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in which all appeals are final, but who has been unable to collect the full amount of the judgment.
- A person whose claim for personal injury or wrongful death was settled for the policy limits of liability insurance, and those policy limits are inadequate to cover the amount of damages due to the personal injury or wrongful death.
- A person whose claim for personal injury or wrongful death has been unsuccessful due to the tortfeasor′s bankruptcy.
- If the uncompensated tort victim is deceased, the surviving spouse or certain other family members of the deceased may make a claim.
return to top 258
Who is not eligible to make a claim?
- If the injury occurred outside of the state of Missouri, and the injured person was not a Missouri resident, there is no one eligible to make a claim against the Fund for the injury.
- A corporation, partnership, or commercial entity is not eligible to make a claim against the Fund.
- Anyone who was on house arrest or who was confined in any jail, prison, or correctional facility at the time of the injury is not eligible to make a claim against the Fund.
- Anyone who pleaded guilty to, or had been found guilty of two or more felonies, which felonies were committed within ten years of the injury, and where either of the felonies involved a controlled substance or an act of violence is not eligible to make a claim against the Fund.
return to top 259
Will there be any funds available to pay my claim if I am successful?
All claims filed between August 28, 2001 and December 31, 2010 have been paid on a pro rata basis. There are currently insufficient funds to pay claims filed after January 1, 2011. For more information, see Important Information on Tort Victims' Compensation on this website.
return to top 260
Is there a dollar limit on claims?
By law, claims against the Tort Victims′ Compensation Fund are limited to $300,000 or less. Any claim with a value higher than $300,000 will be re-valued at $300,000.
return to top 261
How will my claim be evaluated?
The claim will be evaluated based upon the law, and based upon the information that you provide. If you have not provided all of the necessary information, we will let you know, in writing, what additional information is needed.
Claims filed during the initial claims period will be reviewed by the Tort Victims′ Compensation Program staff, who will mail you an "Administrative Determination" stating whether you should receive money from the Fund, and, if so, how much. If you agree with the Administrative Determination, you do not need to do anything more. If you disagree with the Administrative Determination, you have the right to have your claim heard and determined by an Administrative Law Judge. At the trial you can testify, present testimony of other witnesses, and present any other relevant evidence.
return to top 262
What information will be required from me?
In most cases, you will be required to provide information regarding the following:
- The accident or incident
- The lawsuit and judgment
- Efforts to collect on the judgment
- Insurance available to insure the liability of the party at fault (the "tortfeasor")
- Insurance available to you to pay for medical bills, disability, loss of income, etc.
- Other benefits you have received (e.g., workers′ compensation, social security)
- Your medical condition
- Your medical bills
- Your lost income
Every case is different, and not all such information is required in every case. Some cases may require information not described here. You will be notified as to what information is needed in your particular case.
return to top 263
Why will I need to provide information regarding my insurance and other benefits?
This information is necessary because the Tort Victims′ Compensation Fund is a "payor of last resort". That means that all other potential payment sources should be exhausted before deciding how much money the Fund should be required to pay.

This is my, hands down, favorite coffee. I received my first batch back in '05 from my father in Kansas, which he procured from The Spice Merchant in Wichita. This stuff is so close to perfect, man.
Consistent quality
By Sunshine
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Foodie, Simple Tastes
This coffee is consistently our favorite. It has a rich bold flavor but is not strong or in anyway bitter. It's like finding a great cheese only better because we can have it every day, multiple times per day...it's like a guilty little pleasure.

I have been drinking this product since the company was a small family owned product. It is almost the same...except for the new company not giving away free filters that were packaged by disabled children

Editor's Note: To read more about spreadsheets, share a tip with other readers, or suggest a topic for Bill Jelen to cover in an upcoming column, click here to visit CFO.com's Spreadsheet Tips Page.
During my Forecasting and Planning Webcast on June 24, I was demonstrating how to use straight-line regression to forecast production. Viewer W.D. asked how to adapt this method when there is seasonality in the sales data. W.D. wins a copy of the new Learn Excel 2007-2010 from CFO and MrExcel for his question.
Consider the data in Figure 1. This shows five years of historical data and a straight-line forecast. The R-Squared value shown on the chart is 0.0999, which means that straight-line forecasting is not going to yield an accurate forecast.
1. Start with sales data by month for several years. It is important that the historical data contain a multiple of 12 months. I used five years of history in this example. The data could run from January 2006 through December 2010, or it could run from July 2007 through June 2011. The important part is that every month is represented by the same number of annual data points. If you have five Decembers, then you should have five Junes. Having five of some month and six of other months will skew the seasonal indices.
2. Select one cell in the data and choose Insert, Pivot Table, OK.
Fig. 1
You can use a pivot table to calculate the seasonal indices. To do that, follow these steps:
3. Move the date field to the Row Labels. Add historical sales to the Values area. You will have a pivot table identical to the original data set.
4. Select one of the date cells in the pivot table. Select Group Field from the Options tab of the ribbon as shown in Figure 2.
Fig. 2
5. In the Grouping dialog, choose only Months. I always say that you should never choose Months without also choosing Years; however, calculating seasonal indices is the one time that you can choose only Months (Figure 3).
Fig. 3
6. You want to change the pivot table to show averages, as well as the numbers as a percentage of the column total. This is easier in Excel 2010. In Excel 2010, choose one of the sales cells. Open the Summarize Values By dropdown and choose Average. Open the Show Values As dropdown and choose % of Column Total (Figure 4). Select the Active Field box and type a name such as Seasonal Indices. On the Design tab, open the Grand Total dropdown and choose Off For Rows and Columns.

I've remarked before that the columnist with the best access to the Obama administration is, far and away, David Brooks. That's an odd state of affairs.
I think this result, from the Pew Research Center, should actually concern supporters of cap and trade:
Nutty as Jim DeMint's demographic theories might be (see below post), news out of Israel reminds me to be glad that we don't have a coalition system that abets the participation of parties meant to represent nothing but religious extremism.
The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday.
This is a novel response to the concern that the GOP has become an exclusively southern party:
DeMint says he isn't worried. He denied that the GOP has become a southern party, attributing Republican losses in the northeast to some northern voters who have left the region and moved south hoping to avoid labor unions and "forced unionization." He said Americans will eventually come back into the Republican fold because of growing alarm about the size of government and President Obama's fiscal policies.
Over at the Iowa Independent, Mike Lillis takes a look at the changed incentives for Chuck Grassley now that Arlen Specter has ditched the party. Grassley is currently the Ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. That's a big job. A powerful job.
Speaking of SSRN, I just stumbled across "Fuck," a paper by Ohio State Law Professor Chris Fairman, which "explores the legal implications of the word fuck." The abstract:
John Sides notes that the Social Science Research Network -- one of the web's leading repositories of academic papers -- has started a blog. But it's not a very good blog. It's seen three posts in two weeks. And my hunch is that's partially due to a poor mission statement. "The SSRN Blog will not be a broadcast vehicle," they promise. "We want to engage you in an ongoing conversation."
I don't want to agree with Tyler Cowen on the politics of torture prosecutions, but I think I actually do:
I believe that a full investigation would lead the U.S. public to, ultimately, side with torture, side with the torturers, and side against the prosecutors. That's why we can't proceed and Obama probably understands that. If another attack happened this would be all the more true.
No one will ever accuse Joe Biden of lacking for enthusiasm. "Arlen Specter has been my friend and my confidant and my partner," he said today, using language more commonly associated with wedding proposals. "And it gives me great pleasure, great pleasure, Mr. President, to now officially be in the same caucus with Arlen Specter.
Gail Collins:
Everybody knows, of course, that even when Al Franken finally makes it to Washington, getting all 60 Democrats-and-fellow-travelers to vote together on something will be like herding … something really impossible. Not cats. Cats I could envision all going in one direction if there was a little herring-flavored incentive at the end of the line. Herding rabid guinea pigs in a thunderstorm, maybe.
• When should people get married?
• A 419 e-mail scam.
• Think Tank Round-Up.
• What Pierre Bordieu explains about Tim Geithner.
• The odd union of Gay and Nan Talese.
From an interview with CNBC's John Harwood:
HARWOOD: One of your jobs as chief of staff is to help the president figure out when you can declare victory on an issue, even if you don't get everything you want. Two particulars: Can you have a successful outcome on health care if you have not dramatically expanded coverage, if you have a piece of legislation that focuses on cost reduction? And can you have a successful and transformative energy policy without putting a price or limit on carbon emissions?
The Obama administration is right to worry about a coming doctor shortage. We have a medical system that's co-evolved with a health care system that leaves 47 million people uninsured and tens of millions more underinsured. It employs about the number of doctors required for that level of care usage.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.
Liberals are exasperated with conservatives' unwillingness to acknowledge fact about health care, and other things. But they'd better get used to it.
Two vacant slots offer progressives the opportunity to ensure the Board finally cracks down on Wall Street.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America - Friday, February 14th. While today may not be an official holiday, Valentine's Day is one of the most popular in the year's calendar. Its origins are a mix of legends involving two Christian martyrs, a Roman fertility rite, and the old notion that this is the time of year when the birds choose their mates. What is sure is that Esther Howland of Massachusetts began selling the first mass-produced valentines in the 1840s. Today's occasion falls in the heart of February, which is also National Wedding Month. There were 2.1 million weddings in the U.S. in 2011; that's about 5,800 per day. Some 19 men out of 1,000 get married each year; for women, the rate is over 17½ per thousand. Wyoming leads the nation in marriage rate for both sexes. Profile America is in its 17th year as a Public Service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Hello to everyone.
For past few days I'm trying to install SL on this notebook, and I think that I'm close to that, sort of.
First let me explain what have I done so far.
Original SL 10.6.3 restored to USB, booted with iBoot from everybody know where.
Installed as usual, updated everything, copied in /E/E/ FakeSMC, ACPIMonitor, ElliottForceLegacyRTC, EvOreboot, NullCPUPowerManagement, installed Chameleon 2.2svn (svn-r2266), rebooted from HDD only with "-v arch=i386" and it worked, not well, but for the first time, just fine.
Problems with trackpad and keyboard, so I installed AppleACPIPS2Nub and ApplePS2Controller to E/E/, but every reboot, without rebuilding the caches, stopped working. So, I copied to S/L/E/ and right now it's ok. Actually, E/E/ is empty.
Only kexts that I installed in S/L/E/ are:
FakeSMC, v3.3.1 with X3100 and IntelCPUMonitor plugins
BCM5722D under plugins of IONetworkingFamily
VoodooHDA 0.2.1
Problem is, EIST don't work. I tried first with copying unmodified DSDT with all 7 SSDT in /Extra, bdmesg is full of information about the system, cpu, memory, everything is recognized, but with MSR Tools multiplier is 3 and speed is 1600, and with HW Monitor speed is only 800 MHz. HW Monitor actually see temps from both cores, GPU and HDD, voltages, speed and multiplier.
I tried fixing DSDT, with only DTGP, T_x rename and SMBUS patches from DSDT Editor, and I see in kernel.log that message "** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider" is gone, so patching is working, but
So, right now, I can't think of anything else. Somebody might have some new idea, it doesn't matter if it's crazy, using hammer or chainsaw, but might work. This isn't something sooo important, but nonetheless I would like to finish this little experiment, and than proceed with Lion, and maybe, just maybe with ML. Wireless isn't important for now, if everything else would and should work, I'm thinking of buying some compatible mini pcie.
Thanks for watching, reading, commenting, and, why not - helping??

i can't say that i loved these, a little bland and too yeasty (if that is even a word). i will pass making these again and try something else.
I tried this recipe but just half because I only had one packet of yeast. It came out GREAT!!! My oldest son said it was better than at our favorite buffet restaurant so now I'm beaming! This is a keeper!

text: Study Abroad Policies Academic policies for off-campus programs: For Cornerstone University credit to be awarded, the program or experience must be approved in advance by the International Programs Committee. Students in such programs are designated as enrolled at Cornerstone University. Financial aid policy for semester abroad programs: This information applies only to aid directly from Cornerstone University. It does not affect any federal or state aid or loans that a student may have. Off-Campus study is a valuable part of a student's education. Therefore, Cornerstone University allows a certain number of students per year to apply a portion of their institutional financial aid to semester abroad programs. In allocating financial aid funds to semester abroad programs and selecting students to receive such a benefit, the university's policy is driven by two guiding principles: Study abroad programs that immerse students in a foreign culture are some of the most valuable, life-changing educational experiences a student can have. Cross-cultural study that occurs in a Christian context and is motivated from a Christian worldview is the most meaningful kind of semester abroad experience. Therefore, Cornerstone University seeks to give priority in financial aid support and student selection to cross-cultural programs that share its Christian mission and educational perspective. Amount of Study Abroad Financial Aid: Up to 100% of institutional financial aid, depending on available funds: All international CCCU programs and other Christian-based cross cultural programs approved by the International Programs Committee, such as Semester in Ireland. Up to 75% of institutional financial aid, depending on available funds: All domestic CCCU programs (such as the Contemporary Music program) and IP C-approved domestic programs (such as the Chicago Semester). Procedure for awarding study abroad financial aid: By March 1 of the preceding semester, any student planning to apply Cornerstone University financial aid to a study abroad program for the fall semester must notify the Global Opportunities Office in writing. The International Programs Committee will allocate up to 75% of available financial aid funds to students studying abroad in the fall semester. By October 1 of the fall semester, any student planning to apply Cornerstone University financial aid to a study abroad program for the spring semester must notify the International Programs Office in writing. The International Programs Committee will allocate the remaining available financial aid funds to eligible students studying abroad in the spring semester. Award amounts for each individual student will vary based on the overall number of students applying for study abroad, the particular program attended, and the amount of aid that the student is eligible for. In addition, the following factors will affect award amounts: prior participation in semester abroad programs, financial need, year of study at Cornerstone University, cost of the off-campus program, and overall GPA. Other stipulations: Students attending Cornerstone University under a tuition exchange program from another college cannot carry that exchange to an off-campus program.

I have been working at BJ's Restaurants
Pros – BJ's has pretty good food and excellent beer. It is open late, and my location was always busy. This translates into lots of opportunities to make $$$.
Cons – Job satisfaction is directly correlated with management. I worked with awesome managers and loved my job, and bad managers who made work hell. BJ's transfers managers all the time which makes employees have to adapt to new rules and preferences.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep managers in locations longer to build rapport with employees/guests.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

It's unlikely the kids now sitting the HSC have had much time in recent weeks to watch Big Brother. But if they did, they'd have been excited to see the latest incarnation of a certified national icon, whom they would know as Tina Sparkle.
Sonia Kruger's debut performance, in Strictly Ballroom, is a prescribed text in the English course upon which students were examined last week. Tina Sparkle finds herself in such exalted company as Hamlet, Eliza Doolittle, Miss Havisham, Charles Foster Kane, Julius Caesar, Billy Elliot and Elizabeth Bennet. All are deemed by the Board of Studies to be essential elements of the heritage our teachers should imprint on young Australians so they'll emerge from high school as civilised human beings.
Any students who glanced at Channel Nine lately would have been delighted that Tina Sparkle is even more beautiful in 2012 than she was when their prescribed text was filmed, in 1992. Students who chose SeaChange as one of their texts would have been equally impressed that the Sigrid Thornton they see in commercials for a certain brand of vitamins is as fresh-complexioned as the glamorous Melbourne lawyer who transformed her life by moving to a coastal village in 1998.
Not that such superficial judgments would have been helpful in the essays the HSC students were scribbling last Monday and Wednesday. Deeper analysis is required.
The early work of Kruger falls in an area of study called ''Belonging'', where it illustrates this proposition from the board's notes for teachers: ''Students may consider aspects of belonging in terms of experiences and notions of identity, relationships, acceptance and understanding. Texts explore many aspects of belonging, including the potential of the individual to enrich or challenge a community or group. They may reflect the way attitudes to belonging are modified over time. Texts may also represent choices not to belong, or barriers which prevent belonging.''
In Strictly Ballroom, dancers Scott and Fran challenge the anal-retentive bureaucrats who run the Dance Federation, at the risk of not belonging to the dominant group, but end up enriching the world of dance by offering others (including Tina) new ways to display their talent.
It's an inspiring message for the leaders of tomorrow and it's typical of the care with which the professors on the Board of Studies have chosen the popular-culture options in the curriculum.
Other movies up for examination last week included Blade Runner (do androids belong to the human race?); The Castle (should one family be allowed to resist the elected authorities?); Lost in Translation (people are strange when you're a stranger); Wag the Dog (most politicians are liars, cheats and hypocrites); The Queen (a ruler should understand her subjects' feelings); Rabbit-Proof Fence (family is more important than ideology); and Ten Canoes (humans share a fundamental view about love, justice and what makes a good story).
The board is working on a new HSC English syllabus, to operate from 2014. They've done a good job so far in choosing movies and TV shows, so they may not need any help from the readers of this column. Lets give it to them anyway. What other visual texts contain ideas and messages that would encourage a child to become a confident, creative, reflective and happy adult?
Here's my short-list, which I'll send to the board as soon as I've added yours (not necessarily the greatest movies and TV series of all time, but the visual texts that should be on the HSC syllabus):
Apocalypse Now, Dr. Strangelove, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Fawlty Towers, Frontline, Gallipoli, The Godfather: Part II, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Life of Brian, Muriel's Wedding, Newsfront, The Newsroom, Rome, They're a Weird Mob, To Kill a Mockingbird, West Side Story, The West Wing, The Wire.
Nominate the films and shows our children should study below.

Real Good Mood Food: 10 Foods to Fight Depression
Are you feeling a bit of a post-holiday slump? After all of the excitement, adjusting back to real life can be tough, and getting back into the swing in the midst of cold, dark winter weather doesn't make it any easier. Check our our lists of mood-boosting foods that can give you a little help!
Of course, just changing your diet probably isn't going to be enough to shake the winter blues, but combine some good mood food with some other changes in your habits, and you can make things easier on yourself. Before we get to the food part, here are a few non-food ideas that can also help:
- Exercise – Even better? Exercise outdoors, if you can. I always have a rough time forcing myself to brave the cold for a walk or a run, but once you get moving, soaking up that sunlight and getting the blood pumping does wonders. Even if it's overcast, that bit of sunlight can really help!
- Go Full Spectrum – One of the reason we get bummed in winter is because our bodies miss sunlight. Try picking up a full-spectrum light bulb and using it in the room where you spend the most time.
- Treat Yourself – So often we spend the holidays in giving mode, don't we? From opening our homes to friends and families to making and buying gifts. Now that the craziness is over, do something for you! It's called "self care," and it doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming.
- Try Meditation – This could go under the self care category, but meditating can help calm your mind and help put your winter blues in perspective. Check out this guided meditation focused on helping you move beyond happiness!
Of course, a healthy diet can do wonders for your mood, too! On the next page, check out our list of depression-fighting foods to help you beat your winter slump!

What a useful list! I just made chia pudding for the first time today. I knew that they were high in Omega 3′s, but I'd forgotten that was tied with lowering depression. With these frigid and short days, everyone can use all of the help they can get, me included!
Great post and oh so relevant for me! I definitely need to get on that exercise train, but can't seem to find the motivation so maybe I'll start with some of these food suggestions.

Kate MooreI've lived most of my life along the California coast. That experience has made me a jeans-wearing, toes in wet-sand, married to a surfer, fog-loving weather wimp, with a hint of East Coast polish from spending my college years in Boston. Family history connects me to Irish and English immigrants, Cornish miners, gold prospectors, and adventurers who sailed around Cape Horn bound for San Francisco.
When I'm not reading, writing, teaching, or brainstorming, I walk in the redwoods; feed birds; collect books, apples and leaves; watch the tele-novellas on Spanish-language TV; and immerse myself in all things English. My favorite food groups are butter, brown sugar, dark chocolate, and red wine. My early literary influences were The Little Engine That Could, The Little Red Hen, and Winnie the Pooh. Austen, Heyer, Chaucer, and Homer came later and inspired me to put that first plot on paper.
My heroes are honorable, virile outsiders with some grand ambition. (It helps my imagination if they look like a cross between Keanu Reeves and Clive Owen.) My heroines are practical princesses, who drive those edgy loners into love with good sense and good sex.
My family and friends offer endless support and humor. My children are my best works, and my husband is my favorite hero.

Enforcement strategy and tools
The Food Standards Agency works with enforcement officers to ensure that food and feed law is applied across the entire food chain.
The responsibilities of all the enforcement authorities in the UK are set out in the Single Integrated National Control Plan for the UK.
The Agency's interaction with enforcement officers is set out in the Framework Agreement on Local Authority Enforcement. This document gives a structure to the Agency's supervision of local authority enforcement work.
The Food Law Code of Practice (and the equivalent Feed Law code) sets out the way local authorities should apply food law, and how they should work with food businesses. Practice guidance is also provided as a further help to enforcement officers.
The Agency also provides guidance on specific regulations which are relevant to enforcement officers and food businesses to ensure that the law is clear.

Three Things: Cardiff vs. Swansea
CARDIFF -- Three observations from Cardiff's 1-0 derby victory against Swansea in the Premier League.
Malky's masterplan
"Boring, boring Cardiff," teased the Swansea fans, mocking their opponents' agricultural football as their men played slick, Spanish-influenced fare. Yet here was a reminder that victory can derive from all sorts of approaches. As Cardiff fans celebrated with their "Ayatollah dance," they were anything but bored, especially after Michel Vorm's late dismissal for his last-man foul on Fraizer Campbell confirmed Swansea misery.
Malky Mackay had clearly aimed to keep it tight for the first 45 and then up the tempo after that. His plan paid off as Cardiff claimed victory in South Wales' first ever Premier League derby match. Whatever awaits him, he has gone down in Bluebird legend.
It would be a brave man who forced Mackay out now, though few could doubt that Vincent Tan might have sufficient courage to do so. Were Tan to know a little more about the game, he might recognise that his manager had supplied a tactical triumph to deliver the club's sweetest victory since the 1927 FA Cup final.
When Michu twice went close in the early stages, Cardiff had looked all too capable of being carved open -- but they soon adopted the dogged, determined manner that defines their manager.
The hard tackle, the dead ball and team spirit carried Cardiff through. That Korean creator Kim Bo-Kyung was dropped for Don Cowie was an indicator of an approach in which defensive work would initially dominate the schedule. Mackay the pragmatist changes his team according to the opponent he is facing. He was happy to let Swansea have the ball in places that could not hurt them.
Cardiff's only first-half flicker of threat came when Craig Bellamy, the Cardiff kid back home after a peripatetic career, boomed in a free kick that came off the wall to spinnaker over Vorm's bar. Peter Odemwingie as front man often looked as lonely as he did that night he parked his Range Rover on Loftus Road.
Chilean enforcer Gary Medel patrolled in front of his defence as Cardiff began to seek channels to exploit. Cowie went up to head a ball nodded back by Bellamy but Ashley Williams did enough to put him off.
When Steven Caulker, an ex-Swan, climbed above Chico Flores on Bellamy's well-aimed corner to score, all but that small corner in white celebrated wildly. The moment they had all been waiting for had been seized. "One team in Wales," they sang in joy.
Swans' bubble bursts
They had been "bubbled" in, kettled into the ground like a group of antiglobalism protesters. They were ghettoised in a corner kept remote from the rest of the stadium. Lines of neon-jacketed stewards and police were on either side of them. This would be the only time that Swans feet stepped in Bluebird country. They had all met at their Liberty Stadium at midday and been bussed into enemy territory. No chances were being taken by the authorities. Any celebrations would have to take place back beyond Port Talbot, though in the end there were to be none.
Such draconian measures have long been necessary to separate the fans of Cardiff and Swansea. The two groups are best left apart, as evidenced by a disturbingly violent 60-man punch-up that occurred at Newbury racecourse in July 2012 and became a grisly YouTube hit.
In the days when both languished in the lower reaches, both on the brink of bankruptcy, what reputations they had lay in their fans' extracurricular activities.
This is the Premier League, where such scenes are just not acceptable. A local conflict was not going to be allowed to disgust a global audience.
Early on, the white shirts were booed on their every touch as their "Hymns and Arias" anthem was shouted down. In turn, Swans fans bounced provocatively, eager to remind the home fans that they are flying a Welsh flag in European competition and enjoying a third straight season at the top level.
The atmosphere never quite became the white-hot bearpit the TV company who scheduled it had really wanted. Tepid football saw to that until Caulker's goal, at which point those in the corner became sitting ducks. "1-0 to the capital," lorded it over them, and eventually they sat to a man with crossed arms, contemplating a miserable ride west. Life has been sweet so far for Swansea in the top division, but this was a nadir.
A victory for Vincent
Swansea are as near to a socialist collective as could be involved in the Premier League cartel. A club for the fans, by the fans, there could not be a greater contrast with the despotic whims with which Tan runs Cardiff. The Swans have this week reported a profit, while Tan is charging interest on loans that keep on increasing.
Alisher Apsalyamov, the Kazakh kid acting as head of recruitment, has piqued the interest of the Home Office. Since his visa only allows him to act as an intern, he is no longer allowed to fulfil his role to the best of his no doubt deep-seated skill set.
Etien Velikonja, the mystery Slovene, was nowhere near Mackay's 18-man squad, but that Cardiff were playing in red was evidence of the Malaysian overlord getting his way. In the stands, blue shirts dominated, though there was a smattering of red, perhaps to symbolise the change in demographic that being in the Premier League has brought.
Tan, unbowed by the widespread derision that a collection of odd decisions have brought him, was in the stands. Contravening stadium regulations, he was often standing up, his 17-inch collar-size trousers pulled up to their usual resting place around his sternum.
The prematch anthem "Men of Harlech" was pumped out at ear-bleeding levels on the PA system to remind us that English football's top division is now 10 percent Welsh, even if Tan would like much of the credit for himself.
To give him his due, he had perhaps learned something of a lesson. Unlike against Manchester City, he did not take to the pitch to lead the postmatch celebrations. Perhaps it was a bit too cold and wet for him to bother meeting his adoring public.

Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning expects the Devaney Center to be close to full when the eighth-ranked Huskers face third-ranked Iowa in Saturday's Big Ten dual.
He also expects his team to handle that environment.
"The atmosphere is going to be very, very intense," said NU junior Robert Kokesh, who brings a 23-1 record into the dual. "Iowa brings a great fan base. There's going to be a lot of people, probably more than we're used to. We just have to go out and block all that out. Iowa is a tough team, and so are we. We have to go and compete at a high level."
Last season's Nebraska-Iowa dual drew 9,510 to Carver-Hawkeye Arena — Iowa led the nation in attendance last year, averaging 8,764 per home date.
The Hawkeyes controlled last season's dual, winning eight of the 10 matches for a 31-7 victory.
Manning said the Huskers are "a lot better from that."
"We had several guys not handle that environment very well last year," he said. "My philosophy is you either get better or you get worse, and I'm sure our guys got better from that.
"I told our guys: 'You're not wrestling Dan Gable. You're not wrestling 10 guys. You're not wrestling the program. You're wrestling one guy.' Our guys are in a much better place mentally right now."
Nebraska, which has four freshmen in its lineup, is 8-0 in duals this season. The Huskers rolled past Indiana and Penn last weekend.
"We have a young team and we've definitely made some strides so far," Kokesh said. "As a team, I think we're bonding a lot closer and competing a lot harder. I think if we keep working hard, we can compete for a Big Ten title and a national title."
Iowa, meanwhile, is 10-1 in duals, having lost to top-ranked Penn State in December. The Hawkeyes have won their four duals in January by a combined 133-13. That included a 24-6 win over fifth-ranked Oklahoma State, as well as three conference wins.
And while seven of Nebraska's starters are in InterMat's national rankings, all 10 of Iowa's starters are ranked. There will be three matchups between top 10 wrestlers — Iowa's Thomas Gilman (No. 3) against Tim Lambert (No. 9) at 125 pounds; Iowa's Derek St. John (No. 1) and James Green (No. 3) at 157; and Kokesh (No. 4) and Iowa's Mike Evans (No. 6) at 174.
Gilman, an Omaha Skutt graduate, and Lambert are redshirt freshmen. On the other hand, Kokesh and Evans, as well as St. John and Green, are very familiar with one another.
Kokesh lost to Evans twice, as a freshman and during last year's dual, before finally defeating the Hawkeye junior at the NCAA championships. That 3-2 win propelled Kokesh to a third-place finish at nationals.
"When you finally beat him, you realize all the hard work you put in finally is paying off," Kokesh said. "I'm working harder than I did last year."
Green vs. St. John is the marquee matchup: Both are unbeaten this season.
St. John holds a 2-1 all-time advantage, winning a pair of 6-4 decisions. Green edged St. John 5-4 in the Big Ten tournament last March, but St. John hasn't lost since then, winning 27 matches in a row. St. John won the 157-pound title at nationals, while Green placed seventh.
"This is what you train for," Manning said. "You don't train for the guy you're going to tech fall. You train for these guys."
Five Hawkeyes in Saturday's lineup finished in the top six at nationals a year ago.
"It's a challenge for our team," Manning said. "Our team is growing, getting better. We'll be able to see where we're at with about eight weeks to go (before nationals)."
Notes: Before the Iowa-Nebraska dual, there will be a high school dual at Devaney between Omaha Skutt and Iowa's Davenport Assumption. That dual will start at 2 p.m. ... Iowa leads the all-time series 28-10-2 and has won the last six matchups. ... Saturday's dual will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

Nature's Inspiring Stories
Nature springs to life in Nature Conservancy magazine. Read
The Nature Conservancy is excited to announce its newest hires, Dr. Andrew Tucker as the Conservancy's Great Lakes aquatic invasive species applied ecologist, and Edward Stanton as restoration and stewardship specialist for southwest Michigan.
Tucker will work primarily on eDNA surveillance projects, as well as with the Conservancy's Grand Traverse Bay spawning reef predator control, and work on organisms in the Conservancy's trade risk assessment project. Stanton will be responsible for the restoration of preserves in southwest Michigan, including those in the Paw Paw Watershed.
"Both Andrew and Ed have extensive experience in their respective specialties," said Helen Taylor, state director in Michigan for The Nature Conservancy. "They will be able to apply lessons learned during those previous experiences and enhance The Nature Conservancy's current projects here in Michigan and the Great Lakes."
Tucker spent the majority of his academic career studying photo-toxicity of fossil fuel contaminants on marine vertebrates and invertebrates in the Gulf of Mexico, and assessing the role of ultraviolet radiation in mediating warm water fish invasions in Lake Tahoe. He received his PhD from Miami University, and spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow there.
"His understanding of freshwater ecosystems and disruptions to them will be crucial for preventing and controlling aquatic invasive species," Taylor said.
Stanton received his master's degree in ecology from the State University of New York, where his research focused on the use of insect communities as a measure of habitat quality. He previously worked in California with both the Center for Natural Lands, where he managed 7,000 acres of conservation land, and Management and the American Land Conservancy where he helped the organization acquire an 10,000 acres for permanent protection.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. The Conservancy and its more than 1 million members have protected nearly 120 million acres worldwide. Visit The Nature Conservancy on the Web at www.nature.org.

Touring the Museum of April Statistical Oddities: Pitchers
Picking up what I started earlier, we continue our walk through some extreme small sample-based statistics put up by pitchers in the first three weeks of the 2013 season. It's plenty of fun to gawk at the numbers, but dangerous to draw firm conclusions about what's happening. Nonetheless, here's what stands out to these eyes with a bit of explanation as to why. The pitchers are listed alphabetically, individually or by first in a multi-player group.
Joe Blanton, Angels: 2.6 HR/9, 1.7 UIBB/9, 7.84 ERA
Nobody's confusing Blanton with a Cy Young contender, but for a team without Jered Weaver and a patchy rotation behind it, he's been a disaster thus far, failing to last six innings in three of his four starts. Last year, Blanton was hammered for a 4.71 ERA thanks to a weird combination of a high batting average on balls in play (.314) and as many unintentional walks as homers (29, 1.4 per nine apiece). This year, the problem has been even more extreme, as his gaudy homer rate and stingy walk rate have been offset by a .381 BABIP. Exacerbating that is a strikeout rate that's less than half last year's mark (3.5, down from 7.6). Maybe the Halos should see what Jeff Weaver's up to these days.
Matt Cain, Giants: 6.59 ERA, 1.9 HR/9
Cole Hamels, Phillies: 5.40 ERA, 1.4 HR/9
David Price, Rays: 5.52 ERA, 1.5 HR/9
Just over two weeks ago, all three of these Cy Young contenders were battered and scattered by their opponents, and it's been part of a larger trend in which they've pitched particularly poorly with men on base and been prone to the big fly. Hamels, helped by a solid outing on Tuesday, has yielded a .208/.271/.434 line under such conditions, and last year's AL award winner, Price, has been worse (.302/.327/.556). They've got nothing on Cain, though; he's been lit for a .400/.468/.750 line with men on base.
Yu Darvish, Rangers: 2.03 ERA, 12.8 K/9
I was among the SI staffers who went out on a limb by touting Darvish as a Cy Young favorite, and thus far, he's made that look quite good. Not only did he come within one out of a perfect game in his first turn on April 2, but he's struck out well over a hitter per inning in every start. His 37.6 percent strikeout rate is a dramatic improvement even above last year's stellar 27.1 percent mark, but of course, one needs to examine the competition Darvish has faced. With one start against the Astros (5-14, 3.95 runs per game), one against the Angels (7-11, 4.44 runs per game) and two against the Mariners (8-13, 3.24 runs per game), his competition has been more stiffs than stiff.
Matt Harvey, Mets: 0.93 ERA
For a team that wound up trading NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey this past winter, Harvey has been a godsend. The seventh pick of the 2010 draft, he was supposed to be good, but more of a number two starter instead of a legitimate ace. After a strong 10-start debut late last year, he has thoroughly dominated this young season thanks to a mid-to-high 90s fastball and a wipeout slider. In each of his four starts, he's gone at least seven innings while allowing four or fewer hits and one or fewer runs. Overall, he's allowed just 10 hits in 29 innings while striking out 32. This can't last, but it's fun to watch while it does.
Roberto Hernandez, Rays: 9.1 K/9
The former Fausto Carmona has struggled in recent years thanks to his inability to miss bats; from 2008 to 2012, his ERA (5.06) basically matched his K rate (5.1 per nine). With his identity crisis in the rearview mirror, Tampa Bay picked him up off the scrap heap; when he started on April 4, it marked the first time in nearly eight years that a pitcher they acquired as a major league free agent had done so. As they've done with many a reliever, the Rays have tweaked his mechanics and repertoire, and while the jury is still out on the overall results given his 4.74 ERA, he's missing bats like never before. His three seven-strikeout games are already one more than he had in 35 starts across 2011 and 2012.
Ubaldo Jimenez, Indians: 10.06 ERA
Brett Myers, Indians: 4.2 HR/9
Hopes that Cleveland's offseason makeover would improve their run prevention have thus far proved unfounded, as they're still yielding 5.12 runs per game, and two rotation members have proven particularly lost. Jimenez's efforts to iron out his mechanics have thus far backfired to the point that he has allowed more than a run per inning via a combustible combination of homers (2.1 per nine) and walks (5.8 per nine). As for Myers, after spending 2012 as a reliever, his return to the rotation has been its own kind of nightmare, and he's had more gopher problems than Carl Spackler. He allowed four homers in his first start of the year and 10 in 21 1/3 innings — two more than he gave up in 65 1/3 innings last year — before going on the DL with a forearm strain.
Cliff Lee, Phillies: 2-1, 2.83 ERA
Last year, Lee apparently forgot how to win, going just 6-9 despite a 3.16 ERA and a 7.4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 30 starts and 211 innings. While his command hasn't been quite as sharp thus far this year (a 5.8 strikeout-to-walk ratio), he's got that old winning spirit back; he didn't notch his second victory until his 18th start last year. Of course, pitcher wins are a silly stat that have much to do with support from one's teammates, and in this case, Lee's relatively gaudy win total doesn't even reflect improved offensive support; the Phillies have averaged 3.1 runs per game in his turns, compared to 3.5 last year.
Rick Porcello, Tigers: 11.08 ERA, 2.1 HR/9, 2.1 BB/9, 2.1 K/9
Amid glowing scouting reports and strong results from the Grapefruit League, this was supposed to be the year that the 24-year-old Porcello stepped forward, but instead he's been stepped upon by opposing hitters. Through three starts and one relief appearance, he's allowed as many homers as he has walks or strikeouts. He may have reached the nadir of his career last Saturday, when he retired just one of 11 Angels he faced in the first inning while allowing nine runs; the two outs he recorded were via a double play, and he departed with the bases empty, so there's no credit or blame to be assigned to the bullpen.
Stephen Strasburg, Nationals: 1-3, 2.96 ERA
The Nationals' ace hasn't pitched badly, just inefficiently at times; his 4.0 pitches per plate appearance is right on the money with last year's mark, but he's striking out just 20 percent of hitters instead of his career-level 30 percent. That shortcoming has been exacerbated by the lack of support he's received from his teammates on both the offensive and defensive sides. The Nats are scoring just 1.8 runs per nine in his starts, hence the lousy won-loss record, and they've made key errors behind him, resulting in four unearned runs to go with his eight earned ones. Of course, it's a pitcher's job to prevent those, too, and Strasburg's 4.43 RA/9 more accurately illustrates his early-season woes.
Adam Wainwright, Cardinals: 37/1 K/BB ratio
Jake Westbrook, Cardinals: 1.25 ERA, 8/14 K/BB ratio
Command is said to be the last thing that comes back after Tommy John surgery, but even after missing all of 2011, Wainwright walked a respectable 2.4 per nine last year, a shade below his career mark. This year, he didn't issue a single walk in 29 innings over his first four starts before finally issuing a free pass on Tuesday night. He has struck out nearly a batter per inning and hasn't allowed a home run yet either.
At the opposite end of the command/control spectrum is Westbrook, who has walked 5.8 per nine while striking out just 3.3 per nine, yet lived to tell the tale. He issued six passes in his first turn but allowed just one run (unearned) in 6 2/3 innings, then followed with a five-hit, four-walk, three-strikeout shutout of the Reds. He's not a pitcher who misses many bats (career 5.1 strikeouts per nine), so unless he gets sharper, his ERA will inflate like a balloon as the inevitable hits and homers arrive.

Sgt. Charles M. "Chuck" Kimbell of the Jonesboro Police Department attended the Chief Executive Training Class for newly-appointed heads of law enforcement agencies and command staff, and chiefs of police, at the Dr. Curtis McClung Training Center in Duluth recently.
The 60-hour course, administered and provided by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police (GACP) is required by state law for all newly-appointed heads of law enforcement agencies.
The curriculum is designed to give newly-appointed law enforcement administrators training on police management, as well as inform them of laws and policies affecting their departments.
"Georgia law enforcement agencies are continuing to provide the best level of service to the citizens they serve despite significant budget reductions," said GACP President Woodrow W. Blue, Jr. of the Milledgeville Police Department. "This program provides professional law enforcement training to assist chief executives in discussing innovative ways to address these concerns, while still [maintaining] high standards of excellence."
Kimbell was among 39 law enforcement administrative professionals attending the course.

Reasor comes on strong to take Tillinghast1:30 am | June 4, 2013
JOHNSON CITY — Craig Reasor overcame adversity and won one of Northeast Tennessee's major amateur golf championships.
After being two-over par in the early going of his final round, the Knoxville resident and former Lincoln Memorial University standout came through with a 64 to finish the tournament minus-seven to hold off defending champion Mark Baggarly and win the prestigious Tillinghast Invitational at the Johnson City Country Club on Sunday evening.
What Reasor did will go down as one of the best performances you will see in amateur golf, but it wasn't easy.
On Saturday at No. 14, Reasor made a nine on a par four, a five-stroke slump. He even bogeyed his first hole on Sunday.
Following the first hole, Reasor put on an absolute clinic in golf. He slowly started chipping away and by the end of his round he was the man to beat.
Baggarly had been in the drivers seat, but Reasor's round held up and he ended up being this year's Tillinghast winner.
"I was telling the guys I was playing with it is a lot harder in the last group," Reasor said. "There is a ton of attention on you, but here it is free reign. We can make birdies and nobody notices us.

Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he is resigning, effective Feb. 28.
Archdiocese of Atlanta Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory held a press conference this afternoon in Smyrna to address questions and concerns.
"This announcement has sparked widespread surprise but also a great outpouring of prayers and affection for the Holy Father. His stated reasons for resigning are his frailty as a result of age and his desire to make sure that the Church has a Pontiff with the energy and stamina to carry on the heavy burdens that come with the Office of Pope. Characteristically of the Holy Father was the humility of the statement and the pastoral love expressed for the Church that has prompted his decision," stated Archbishop Gregory.
Calling for prayer, Archbishop Gregory said, "I ask all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Atlanta to keep the Holy Father in prayer and the College of Cardinals who will be summoned to Rome to exercise their unique function in electing a new Pope according to a time-frame that will be announced."
The pope's resignation letter reads in part:
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry... in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me..."
Pope Benedict XVI, born in 1927 in Bavaria as Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger, is the 265th pope. The last pope to resign was Gregory XII, in 1415.
